Question 136247This question is from textbook geometry
: I am stuck with this particular question. What I got stuck in was the middle of solving it I had got x=18, but it just doesn't add up. So the question is:
The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3:3:4. Find the measure of each angle.
Please help me, Thank You=)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the angles are in a 3:3:4 proportion, you can say that one of the angles is 3 times some value, a second angle is also 3 times that same value, and the third angle is 4 times that value, and that the sum of all three angles is 180, so 3x+3x+4x=180 which is to say 10x=180 and finally x=18, just like you have postulated.
That would mean that one of the angles was 3*18=54, the second would be 3*18=54, and the third would be 4*18=72.
54 + 54 + 72 does indeed equal 180. So, in fact, it does add up.
